Spring is here + Project Simplify: Paper Clutter
Happy Spring! It’s officially here, and with all the turmoil around the planet these days, lord knows we need it. I was able to spend an entire day cleaning up the yard, planting seeds, and visiting Seattle Tilth’s Edible Plant Sale.
I came home with a blueberry plant, a sage plant, and some beautiful violas. Just what the doctor ordered. In addition to that, my yard is now virtually free of dead leaves, and is being replaced with the beautiful green of Spring. Check out my peas!
If you saw my Project Simplify: the Bedroom post from last week, you know I’ve been following Simple Mom’s challenge to eliminate clutter. This week entailed tackling my most dreaded and rapidly accumulating clutter: paperwork. Though I’m fairly organized when it comes to paperwork, I’ll admit the piles had recently grown out of control. Here’s a portion of what I started with:
Everything filed in its home:
Finally my workspace is clear.
Have you done any Spring cleaning yet?
i’m envious of your files, so nice and neat!
what kind of blueberry plant did you get?
Thanks, Britt! Ever since I read Getting Things Done by David Allen, my files are much more organized.
At the plant sale I bought a Jubilee blueberry—a friend for the Bluejay bush I was given as a gift.
i’ll have to check out that book, my paper piles are getting out of hand! two blueberry bushes are definitely better than one.
Isn’t that viola called something like ‘Tiger’s Eye?’ It’s beautiful whatever it’s called!
Yes, or “Eye of the Tiger”. I love it, especially now that it has many more blooms!
